Re: Most undervalued job

I definitely think the compliance officer is the most undervalued job on a first team, especially new teams. There are so many small rules that a lot of rookie and some veteran teams forget about and when they get to competition they have to spend valuable practice time or even match time fixing these problems. It requires that some times the whole team gets mad at you but it is always better to have to redesign to fit the rules at your shop then when the inspector makes you at competition.

Another job I noticed that I don't think has a title on many teams but I think is really important is a Quality Control person. A member of the team that periodically makes sures that all parts of the robot are being built to the correct specs. Even if the robot is not fully designed if two different subgroups are using different specs it causes a big problem later.
